Michelle allegedly sent her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III, urging him to commit suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in July of 2015. According to the police report (via Time), "…when he actually started to carry out the act, he got scared again and exited his truck, but instead of telling him to stay out of the truck … Carter told him to 'get back in.'"

"You can’t think about it. You just have to do it. You said you were
gonna do it. Like I don’t get why you aren’t."

"I don’t get it either,” he wrote back. “I don’t know."

Carter: "So I guess you aren’t going to do it then. All that for
nothing. I’m just confused. Like you were so ready and determined."

Roy: "I am gonna eventually. I really don’t know what I’m waiting for
but I have everything lined up."

Carter: "No you’re not, Conrad. Last night was it. You kept pushing it
off and you say you’ll do it, but you never do. It’s always gonna be
that way if you don’t take action. You’re just making it harder on
yourself by pushing it off. You just have to do it."

Later in the afternoon, he wrote her again.

"I’m determined," he said. “I’m ready."

"Good because it’s time, babe," she wrote back. "You know that. When
you get back from the beach you’ve gotta go do it. You’re ready.
You’re determined. It’s the best time to do it."

Shortly after, she was voted "class clown" and "most likely to brighten your day" by her senior class, though, of course, that was before the charges emerged.

According to the Associated Press, the Supreme Judicial Court ruled earlier today that the grand jury had probably cause to indict Michelle, despite her lawyer's arguing that her texts were free speech and ought to be protected by the first amendment.

"We conclude that there was probable cause to show that the coercive quality of the defendant’s verbal conduct overwhelmed whatever willpower the eighteen year old victim had to cope with his depression, and that but for the defendant’s admonishments, pressure, and instructions, the victim would not have gotten back into the truck and poisoned himself to death," the judge wrote (via AP).
